The BIOS
The Asus P6X58D-E, as nearly all Asus motherboards, uses the American Megatrends BIOS, a tabbed BIOS for easy navigation. The BIOS opens to the Main menu, which contains date/time, drives detected by the system, and a couple of submenus, including the System Information submenu.
The System Information submenu contains BIOS version information, the most basic CPU information, and amount of memory detected by the system.
The AI Tweaker menu is where all overclocking functions will be performed. All relevant OC settings are in the main menu excepting memory timings, which is the way it should be. This menu also has some of the CPU settings including SpeedStep and TurboBoost.
The Advanced menu contains submenus with settings the various motherboard subsystems.
The CPU Configuration menu contains the remainder of the CPU settings along with all of the CPU information.
The Onboard Devices Configuration menu enables/disables various internal motherboard ports.
The Power menu contains power related settings and the Hardware Monitor.
The Boot Settings menu contains the relevant boot submenus, including the Boot Settings Configuration submenu where the BIOS splash screen can be disabled.
Thanks for this page- I am having trouble mounting this mb into my case because the blue metal pieces on the underside of the mb cause the mb to “lift” away from the case and the only option would be to use longer screws for the hole closest to the ps/2 connections which would then cause the whole rear connections section to not line up correctly. Did I need a special case for this mb to accommodate the blue metal pieces on the underside? my case is a Cooler Master ATX compatible. Thanks!

Dont like this board. It’s quite picky on the DRAM. You have to manually change the settings in the bios as AUTO doesnt give you the correct voltage or QDRAM settings. XMP also is a joke in this boad.
There are issues that are unique to this board and the Marvell controller if you want to run 6 GB/sec.
Asus customer support is horrilbe and all and all, a dud of board in my opinion.
And another thing, if you want to run 12 GB or more on this board then the max supported speed is 1333 NOT 1600 mhz!!
